Note: The Court of Appeal tenders judgement on cases from election tribunals ... hence it is the final arbiter (not the Supreme Court) for election challenges to the April 2011 polls. A proposal to "promote" Salami to the Supreme Court a few months ago was halted when he declined to accept the elevation.  Some believe the purpose was to place him on the sidelines.  Now he has been suspended.  Stay tuned.
